I'd wait until tomorrow then write it off as a bad seed.

they are both germed and planted. if i failed to mention. im just trying to make sure my plant is healthy with how she is drooping, caused from the weight of the seed still? shouldi knock the seed off or leave her be?

let her be, the feed leaves may still be attached to the husk.

in a day if it doesnt come off, remove it.

dont over water or else the plant will droop and grow slowly.

can i see a picture please?

You didn't see the picture I posted? Or did it even get posted? Also what about my humidity. I heard 45-65 mine is at like 70-80%

this should help.

yeah dont touch the shell yet, most likely the plant will take care of that by itself.

what are you growing in? is that a soilless medium? that can be a bit different and i have no experience with soilless grows.

i do know nutrients do not stay in the soilless mixes as long

you want to lower the humidity so there is not an overgrowth of fungus

What can I use to lessen the humidity? I know a dehumidifier but this is a small area with limited space. Any other route?

Okay I got backing soda in there. Got it down from 75 to 70 another 5-10% to go and I'd say its perfect. Now about my lighting I have 2 24" fluorescent bulbs about 2 1/2 feet up from the plants. Should this be closer to them? Like 2-4 inches away?

id say 6 inches to a foot.

even my cfls get hot. i have them about 2-6" from my plants

Okay, cool, thanks man.

okay here is my baby today, still the seed is on it, and as you can see there is a bend in the stem like it was dead and came back. tell me what you think

remove it gently if you want

Does it have to come off? And is it fine that my plant is leaned like this? Will it start to grow up and gain strength?.

eventually. and for now itll probably only make the plant stronger, having to bear the extra weight and having to push the seed off.

If you can run your a/c or furnace that helps lower humidity. For those low wattage lights keep them as close as possible, Like 1". I put them under a 400 w. right away, first week from sprout.
